56mps2014 - Term 1 Reading

Did you know... our reading activity for this week!

11th & 13th February 2014

Lo: I will have a better understanding of why we acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we are meeting.

"We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land
on which we are meeting.

We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present,
and the Elders from other communities who may be here today."

Good Morning!!!

Today in our reading groups we are going to study Aboriginal Origins, culture and traditions.

We will compare what we know about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, and identify their differences in a Venn Diagram:

We will split up into small groups and each group will look at one of the links below:

After 15 minutes the groups will move on to the next link.

Towards the end of the activity, each group will share their findings and understandings.
